THESE KIDS

Psalms 127:3 Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward.

It should be mandatory for every parent to first acknowledge that this verse is a true statement before they could receive their child. It would also be helpful if they had to vow to raise up “This child” in the admonition of the Lord and then let the child chose whether they wished to serve GOD or not.

Of course this is contrary to the present philosophy of; let them become a practicing rank sinner first and then decide when they are grown if they want to become a Christian.

This is contrary to the plain teaching in scripture; Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.

Christianity is the product of the Word of GOD and Satan knows if a child is deprived of the true Gospel, then chances of them becoming a Christian is greatly reduced.

Matthew 19:14 Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." 

His disciples stopped the parents from bringing the children to Jesus; Mark 10:14 But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, "Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

There are those who do NOTwant parents to bring their children to Jesus today and they stand out as the most despicable humans on the face of the earth.

One of the greatest experiences a young child will ever have is at bedtime when a mother reads a bible story to them and prays for them. The last thing before they fall asleep is the comfort from the word of GOD and mother’s prayer.

Mothers know so much more than I do about “The mother’s touch” but one important thing they can do is to take their child’s face in their hands, look them straight in the eyes and say “I love you” and pause awhile before releasing them. This can heal some of the upsets of the day, which is common to all parents.

Some are not blessed with motherhood, but there are so many children who need a little love. It is an opportunity to enjoy what is second best and that is to be an “Auntie” to one or more children.

Behold children are a gift from the Lord even if they are not your own.
